Word to the wise, there are a lot of marketing salesmen that respond to a press release of an opening business. It can be challenging weeding them out.

I didn't want just a 3-fold pamphlet that people might glance at and throw away. This one folded out at 4 angles and was really cute, simple and fun!
To save money, I took them home and cut them all out, folded and mailed them myself to all the local wedding planners and venues I could find listed in the phone book and online. Every time I found a new planner, I'd mail them one to introduce myself.
The business that poured in from just that $300 investment was enough for me to quit my job and do this full-time!
If I'd had a car at that time though, I'd have gone with those decals for sure! I'd have plastered it with my logo and web address.

Hi...what is a pop up flyer?
It was a flyer that had four sides that opened up to reveal photos and words like "cakes", "cookies", "novelty cakes". Imagine a piece of paper shaped like a plus sign (+)? I made it interactive so that the customer was way more interested to open it all up and to see the surprises inside!
